Writers Kittredge, Smith to Read at Carleton
Northfield, Minn.—William Kittredge and Annick Smith will read from their recent work at 4:30
p.m. on Friday, Nov. 5, in Carleton's Gould Library Athenaeum. They will sign books after the
reading.
Kittredge will read from his most recent book, titled Taking Care: Thoughts of
Storytelling and Belief. In Taking Care, Kittredge tells the story of his coming of age in the
Warner Valley of Southeastern Oregon and northern Nevada, where he watched the ranch he
lived on be transformed into a modern agribusiness. In writing about the ranch and his struggle
to find a life for himself, Kittredge reveals his vision of the past and the future.
Kittredge has authored and co-authored 16 books, including Who Owns the West?, Hole
in the Sky and Owning It All. He has taught English at the University of Montana for 25 years,
and in 1994, President Clinton presented Kittredge with the Frankel Award for human service to
the humanities.
Smith will read from her novel Homestead, which was recently published in paperback.
Homestead is Smith's memoir of her life in Montana's Blackfoot Valley, her husband's early
death, the raising of her four boys and the majesty of the land. Smith writes about backpacking
into the wilderness, her friendship with Norman McLean (author of A River Runs Through It)
and her efforts to preserve the land.
Smith published a book in 1996 titled Big Bluestem: Journey Into the Tallgrass. She was
the co-producer of the movie A River Runs Through It, the executive producer of the prize-
winning feature Heartland, and has produced several other documentaries. She is a regular
contributor to several magazines, and was a co-founder of the Sundance Film Festival.
The readings are sponsored by the Carleton and St. Olaf book stores.
